Citizens commemorate today the May 25, 1810 events, when a group of patriots led by Manuel Belgrano, Cornelio Saavedra, Juan Jose Antonio Castelli and Antonio Luis Beruti, among others, ousted viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros and formed the first national government in the Cabildo building.

Those events are considered the first great step on the way to the independence of this country from the Spanish colonial rule, declared on July 9, 1816.

On this date, citizens also recall Kirchner’s inauguration in 2003, who promoted a process of political and social transformations.
